Steemit Challenge Season 34 - Week 7| Stranded on an Island!

If I were told that I would be stranded on the Island for a month, well I would panic at first because the taught of being away from familiar things and being all alone is not something I would easily accept. But after the shock, I would remind myself that God is Omnipresent and an Island isn’t excluded so he would probably go before me.

So, if I could take only one book, one song, and one movie, I would choose things that will keep my mind peaceful, my heart strong and my faith alive.

For a book, I would choose “Conquering Controlling Powers” by David O. Oyedepo...

This is not just any book I can read to pass time, this book reminds me that there are battles in life that cannot be fought by physical strength alone. Now, being alone on an island could easily make me afraid, worried or even discouraged. Certainly, I would need what would remind me constantly of God’s power and his ability to protect and strengthen me. I don’t mind reading the book twice because I won’t rush it.

Slowly reading it would give me a clue that God is always with me, and I need not fear and I can trust God even when I cannot see what’s ahead of me.

For a song, I would choose, “Way Maker” by Sinach...

This is a simple but powerful worship song with power, that points my heart back to God. The message is a beautiful one, even when I cannot see the way, God is still working. Imagine me on an island with no help, no friend or family, playing this song would always keep my mind positioned to what God is able to do.

How interesting, this song would become my little island anthem because I would play it before sunset, and before sleeping at night. I strongly believe it would give me hope on my lonely days.

For a movie, I would choose , “The Blind Side”....

This is a beautiful christian-inspired movie with a strong message about love, kindness, family, and the difference one person can make. Watching it would remind me that life is not about what we have, but about how we treat others. So even though I would be alone on the island, this movie would help me reflect on the people I love and appreciate the relationships God has given me.

“Why I chose these...”

From the book, to the song and down to the movie are spiritually inclined. I wouldn’t want to feed my mind with something different so it doesn’t start processing unnecessary things because whatever the mind receives, it processes and brings out the result which is either good or bad.

The book is there to tread on my path, the song to soften my mind and the movie to elaborate my thought. In conjuncture, these are all needed for my edification and sanity.

If I had space for one luxury item, I would take a “comfortable solar-powered rechargeable speaker”...

I know it sounds simple, but I tell you, it would make my simple island adventure worth while. I could play worship songs, listen to other songs and fill the whole silence with my sound of music.

Perhaps, being stranded on the island would not be the adventure I planned. But with my book, song, movie and speaker, I would turn the experience into a month of reflection prayer, gratitude, and deeper faith. I am sure my adventure would be given, no doubt!
